Thanks to the innovations of the Power Tool Accessories Recycling Centre, there is less production of new blades which lessens the impact associated with their manufacturing. The system increases the recycling of tool accessories which reduces the impact associated with using virgin steel and sends less waste to landfills. The system is inspired by the principle of increased manufacturer accountability which extends the manufacturer's responsibility for the product to the post-consumer stage of the life cycle. The related advantages in the case of the Power Tool Accessories Recycling Centre are to create incentives in order to make manufacturers take environmental factors into account in their product design. Product is designed to improve reusability or recyclability in order to transform waste into resources and to encourage manufacturers to design products that can be easily rebuilt. This principle completes the circle by simultaneously reducing the use of resources and the production of waste. The blades' packaging minimizes also resource use and waste production.
